- Judge's Docket Entry Edward Johnson, the attorney ad litem, informed the clerks that he was unavailable to attend a hearing in this case to be scheduled in October. Judge Copeland spoke with Mr. Johnson by telephone on September 24, 2025. Mr. Johnson confirmed that he had completed his investigation and that he believed that there were no heirs to the estate other than those listed in the application. Because the time necessary for this case was greater than normal, Mr. Johnson is requesting that he be paid $900.00. Mr. Johnson was excused from attending the hearing in October.
